You have to use manual adjustments for the moon because you need to expose for daylight in the dark. Automatic exposure does not understand that concept. Thanks, Roberta.
If you have full manual mode on your camera and lens, when the moon is full, like tonight, set your ISO to 200 or 400. Your ƒ/stop on the lens at ƒ/6.3 and the shutter speed at 1/250 to 1/500 of a second (especially good combo for telephoto lenses). Or ISO 200-400, ƒ/16 and 1/125 (a normal daylight setting), and you should get detail in the full moon.
Wow! There are some true stunners in this gallery, Tim! Love the fungi pics. I had to zoom in on that ‘moonlight on the Sandias’ photo – the clouds hugging the Crest! Magnificent! ~Ed.
You are welcome, Tim. Having grown up in Albuquerque, it warms my heart to see your photos of the Sandias. Of course, you know, Jake and the kitties and the cranes and the owls and the river, the occasional beaver and coyote and the tangleheart tree, the night sky, moon, stars, etc etc etc, also.
I did do a lot of mooning in my youth. I was a wild child. Teachers and other folks used to tell my mom I was going to grow up to be a delinquent. They were right! Thanks, Geoff.
I don’t know re wowls… BUT I have WOWed at every single one of these. These are epic , ever y single one, in a different way.
The moon was epic. It even wowed the wowels. Thanks, Shey.
Well you did a great job capturing the moon.
Beautiful as always……..night skies always have “messages” about the day just passed OR what’s to come………..

The skies have a lot to say around here. Thanks, Pam.
Beautiful moon! What great shots of the moon, Tim!
Awe the cat loves to get under wheel I mean underfoot lol
He’s more of a wheelie kitty than footie cat. Thanks, Becky.
I always enjoy moon pictures although my own rarely amount to much.

I have been trying with manual adjustment but I’m still learning. Thank you 😊

Jake looks a bit morose today. I love all the moon photos!
If there’s no treats involved, Jake gives me the hangdog look. Thanks, Liz.
Of course, no treats! I should have known that. You’re welcome, Tim.

Unfortunately, the tangleheart tree fell over. But everything else is pretty darned consistent. Thanks, Ed.
LOVE the Jake shot (and Doppels)
Fungus and moons…. does this have something to do with burying potatoes rubbed on warts during a full moon.?
Haikus thank yous!
Jake be’d cute. Doppel is such a good model. Thanks, Resa.
You and the moon. Your name should me Timoony Price!
